    Yep, I remember in the late 90's John Kuntcinsky knocking off Simon Crafer (or was it Slight) in a shitty manouver for the win. He had already clinched the (WSB) title and had no real reason to make the pass except to take the win.

    Yes and another where the answer may well be Here:

    Quote: "Trouble between Vinales and Jove - and Jove's seemingly massive conflict of interest as a rider manager and a team manager - may be the source of this dispute. Spanish paper Marca reported that Jove had received offers for next season for Vinales from Aspar and Aki Ajo but didn't inform Vinales of them before he re-signed with Avintia."
    It's OK to disagree with me. I can't force you to be right.

    Slight. They were team mates.

    So, what was the margin between Cortese and the Malaysian guy? Half a bike length?

    Was Simon Crafar on the Kawasaki at Sentul in 1997. Crafar looked like taking the win when J. C did a "win or bin" pass and pushed Crafar off the track.......

    Knew it was that year but I thought he stuffed Slight sometime near the end of the season.

    What a fucking shit talking dreamer. Jealous much? Go back and watch the clip sometime. You wank on about how todays racers have become 'softcocks'...that Stoner (2x Moto GP Wrold Champ) is a winging cry baby. What a hypocrtiticle wankstain.

    By the way...tonights GP red flag decision was as gay as you are now days. Lorenzo started putting his hand in the air...didn't see Stoner the softcock spoilt brat doing it?

    So Stoner was about to waste Lorenzo and help Pedro shut down the points gap. What right did Lorenzo have to try and decide it was too wet?

    By the way Homo...Slight punted Chili into the kitty litter in a perfectly safe and clean move that you'd only dream of being able to do.
    Go and have a look. Hockenheim. If you think that's rough...well says it all.

    Not getting involved in the shit-slinging, but I was kinda disappointed with the red flag. In the post-race interview wasn't Jorge saying that he had wasted the soft center of his tire earlier in the race, and was struggling near the end? Where as Dani and Casey were both reeling off lap times that Jorge couldn't keep up with. Would have been nice to see that full distance run out.

    Have to give credit to Jorge though, that was a hell of a save. Damn near ran over his left foot doing it though.

    it started just before Dani pAssed him,i thought i saw him wheelspin halfway down the back straight a lose a bit of drive allowing Dani to come up alongside...pretty dicey conditions tho with so many riders starting to come off.

    Yeah, it was probably the right decision to make at the time by race direction because of the situation, and with safety in mind. And the fact that it really started pissing down hard right after they red-flagged it just confirmed their decision. Too bad, if they had started 10 min earlier, I bet that JL would have ended up in third, if not on the deck.

    I wouldn't mind a trip to the Sepang GP. Problem is it's held in the wet season.
    Most days it will rain approximately the same time - in that area about 4.00PM apparently. About the same time the MotoGP race starts.

    I'd have to go for the VIP tickets though, I'd really need the aircon.
